“But for us as competition guys, we would love to play the first round, but, like I said, it’s the way that it is done in the CAF Confederation, so we just have to wait for our opponents, which will be from Libya or Tunisia.” He added.
The Kasasiro Boys will face the winner between Tunisian side Olympique de Béja and Abu Salim from Libya.
“Whichever the club that will come, it will be tough, but we will be ready for sure.”

Tragil and KCCA will be looking to replicate Mike Mutebi’s heroics on the continent but must start by making it to the group stages of the competition.
The Portuguese tactician believes his new side got the bye because they have a big name and must now prove to everyone that it is the reality.
“It shows that KCCA has a big name on the continent. Since we are not playing the first round, it shows that we are big, but being big is not only by words, we need to show on the pitch.”
